It drives me absolutely nuts. Turn up your music or start wearing earplugs. I actually take advantage of the noise though. Most of my machines do not have power LEDs because I've cut the connectors down the middle and use them for SCSI. (These machines are also equip'd with IDE, which is used, or a second SCSI card.) Besides, real machines don't need idiot light, because they are never off. ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
